I don't consider my post or my perdicament humiliating in the slightest. It is a psycho-romantic phenomenon well-documented by the poets, writers, and scientists of the ages. I posted the thread to see if some thoughtful individual might have something experiential to say about it.
What I HAVE found humiliating, however - and what I take responsibility for not having foreseen - is having my valuable inner experiences voluntarily exposed to a handful of shallow apes....

Unless you're a lawyer with a fair knowledge of the cirminal law, I would hesitate before stating whether or not the cop had a "right" to stop her.
Cops don't have rights outside of enabling statutes and common law. I'm not familiar with U.S. criminal law (and it varies by State, as I understand it), but I would imagine that the cop would have at least needed reasonable and probable grounds to suspect that the girl was involved in some kind of crime to even stop to...

Soreness in the shins does persist somewhat during the first few weeks/months of running, but it eventually abates.
I'll give that a shot, but it sounds like a stretch for the calf??
I was hoping the soreness would be...
